- Rock: At the entrance to the Gulf, a statue of Buddha, which is supposed to bring peace to the world, remains in ruins. Behind him is the port of immorality: Roanapur. At the entrance by land to the city there is always a hanging, waiting for some stranger. And before, the city of pleasure: Roanapur. Once upon a time I was a businessman in Tokyo. Now I'm a pirate.
- [as he walks through the city, sees a caged crow]
- Crow: [Repeating words that ever heard somewhere, like a parrot] I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Mothafucka! Mothafucka! I'll Kill you! Mothafucka Cheater!
- Revy: Yes, criminals around the world come here to scratch their balls. They deceive each other, each and every one of them. You're not able to survive if you just can trust your eyes. but it's great while you're still alive.
- Revy: Rock, what you did in your job?
- Rock: I worked in the department of raw materials going to business travel, writing reports... And I did the phone calls, but I think my real work was to be a scab. At night was to put up my bosses drunk. When they were drunk, they kicked my ass.
- Revy: You were screwed, Rock. What a sad story. having to endure all that. Are you a masochist?
- Rock: Supporting all this is part of the job. Nobody wants to be out of work. all survive in that way.
- Rock: Revy, What do you used to do before coming here?
- Revy: What I do now and what I did before has not changed.
- Revy: [Jokingly] So you were going to swim the river, waving a machete as a kid?
- Revy: It's true. I stole, I killed and made a lot of bad things.
- [Both are left staring uncomfortably silent]
- Revy: Yes, I was screwed.
- Balalaika: [Balalaika arrives with her men] Well, well, well. Where are you going so fast? Ah, you have a lot of work. Do you need some help, Mr. Chin?
- Chin: [Nervous] I think there has been a misunderstanding. It's just a rumor running around. If we sit and talk while we eat, I'm sure this will become clear...
- Balalaika: [Throwing down on the floor with a kick in the face] Listen, You bag of shit. We're not here to ask anything. we know all we want to know. Pray. That's all you can do while you're still alive.
